View the Visitiation Schedule
The purpose of visitation is to encourage family communication and to provide opportunities for associations beneficial to the inmate’s overall adjustment. Visitations are conducted either at the main entrance which is referred to as Control 1 Area, or at the secondary entrance which is referred to as Control 3 Area. Each inmate will be allowed up to two (2) visitors only per visitation day (two adults or one adult and one child). A parent or guardian must assompany children under the age of 18. All children must have adult supervision before, during, and after a visit.
Presently, an inmate can only visit with 2 people at a time. However, if 5 people show up, we allow any 2 people at a time to visit during the hour. All 5 can visit during the hour but only 2 at a time.
You Must Be an Approved Visitor

Visits are allowed on certain visitation days and times as specified in a list compiled by the inmate and approved by the corrections facility. Each inmate classified at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility will complete a visitation form listing up to five (5) persons who will be allowed to visit them on visitation days. The inmate can only update their visitation list during the first 5 days of each month. Visitors on the list will be the only persons allowed to visit the inmate with the exception of clergy, attorneys, and infants under one (1).
